Author and Mother of Three Says the Same Online World That Helped Her Lose 110 Pounds Also Inspired Her Screen-Free Children’s Book

Social media helped transform my health, my confidence, and my life. But I also saw what constant screens were doing to my kids. Both things can be true.”
— Kasey Mansfield
HOCHATOWN, OK, UNITED STATES, June 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Oklahoma author Kasey Mansfield knows firsthand that the internet can change lives for the better. Through online fitness programs, digital accountability, and social media community, Mansfield lost more than 110 pounds naturally while documenting her journey publicly for thousands of followers.

But as a mother of three, she also began noticing another reality unfolding inside her home: shortened attention spans, increased device dependency, and a growing disconnect from imagination, movement, and real-world play.

That tension became the inspiration behind her debut children’s book, The Day the Devices Disappeared.

“I’m not anti-social media,” says Mansfield. “Social media helped transform my health, my confidence, and my life. But I also saw what constant screens were doing to my kids. Both things can be true.”

Written in a playful, rhyming style inspired by classic read-aloud stories, The Day the Devices Disappeared follows a group of children whose devices mysteriously vanish, forcing them back outside where they rediscover creativity, connection, and adventure.

Mansfield says the book was never intended to shame parents or demonize technology, but instead to encourage balance and meaningful conversations around family connection in a screen-saturated culture.

Known online for her humor, honesty, and “Do It Anyway” philosophy, Mansfield has built a growing audience by openly sharing her imperfect but transformational health journey—including working out in her living room with kids interrupting her workouts and choosing consistency over perfection.
Her upcoming platform, Mind Over Fatter, will continue those conversations by challenging outdated beliefs around weight loss, self-worth, and personal responsibility.

The visibility campaign surrounding Mansfield’s work is being supported by Communication Queens, a strategic thought leadership and media agency helping authors and creators amplify meaningful cultural conversations.

Kimberly Spencer, CEO of Communication Queens and fellow mother of three, says, “My kids absolutely love Kasey’s book, so partnering with her to help bring more conscious, connected parenting conversations into the world felt like a no-brainer. Her message is playful, relatable, and deeply needed right now.”

The Day the Devices Disappeared is currently available on Amazon.
